Bottle Question

So my DS is almost pretty much done with the bottle. It's taking a lil longer than expected. But I'm not too worried. Anyway I was planning on throwing them away when he was done. DH and I plan on having a 2nd kid in the near future but not sure when. He wants to keep the bottles and just buy new nipples. Is that sanitary? I thought we had to throw them away and buy new bottles. Just wondering what you other mommy's plan on doing with your bottles. thanks!

I don't see why you would have to throw any of it away, even the nipples(unless they are damaged). As long as everything is washed and sanitized I don't see it as something to throw away. It's just like us rewashing glasses/dishes and reusing them. We are placing all of Claire's bottles in a box and saving them for the next baby.Â

We'll save ours as well buy new nipples. I don't see any need to throw them out though. They can be sanitized. We're replacing the nipples for two reasons. First, it'll be a while before we decide on another and they do age to some degree. Second, DS was rather hard on them and I wouldn't want another child to pull or bite and have the nipple come off in his/her mouth. A friend had that happen. No tragedy but it could have been a choking issue.

I saved all mine. To sanitize just boil for 3-5 minutes. As for the nipples, my understanding is they should be replaced because of micro cracks that can form and that sanitizing might not get...they are fairly inexpensive to replace. I actually called the manufacturer of mine and told them they were defective since 1 warped a little during boiling and got free replacements.
